We’re sure you remember us telling you about Florence Welch‘s lovely performance at Chanel‘s S/S12 show.
As the show was themed with an “under the sea” feel, she performed right out of a shell. (If you’d like a reminder, we’ve provided the video for you above.)
And now, as Florence reminisces on the fun evening, she reveals how the brain of Karl Lagerfeld‘s worked to create the spectacular event:
It was funny because Karl and I were doing a shoot for Japanese Vogue, where I was talking about the underwater themes in my record, and he was saying how he wanted to do an underwater theme for his show. Then he said: ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if you came down on a big wire like you were floating?’ and I was like: ‘What?’ And he said: ‘We can get all these harps together…’ and all these ideas were coming to him just really off the cuff├óΓé¼┬ª so I thought he was joking and then he put his hand on mine and said: ‘Ok, so we’ll do it, I’m glad we talked.’ It was all really spontaneous! It was great to be a part of the spectacle, it wasn’t purely just my performance. It was about the clothes, and the models, and this whole set as well so it was quite nice being a part of something so exquisite and exciting. The clothes were wonderful, they all looked like beautiful, pastel-coloured fish in this underwater landscape with the pearls all over them.
They DID all look beautiful, didn’t they? We thought it was one of the best fashion shows we’ve seen all year!
